Stress Awareness Month: Tips for naturally dealing with stress!

For everyone, the past year has been extremely challenging. The entire world has come to a halt, and a new way of existence has taken center stage. The COVID-19 epidemic, as well as the social distancing measures put in place to prevent it from spreading, has thrown our lives into disarray. While one out of every five people will suffer from a mental illness at some point in their lives, everyone experiences problems that might have a detrimental influence on their mental health. Increased worry, stress, and social isolation may be especially hazardous to your mental health if you have a mental disease. That is why we believe it is critical that we share mental health resources and strategies for coping with the most prevalent mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, this year.

Once a year, Mental Health Awareness Month should be observed to encourage community support and lessen the stigma associated with mental illness. Every day, millions of individuals struggle to manage mental illness. Raising awareness is the first step toward ensuring that each of them receives the assistance, support, and care that they require.

April is Mental Health Awareness Month, Here are some suggestions from our end on how to start a meaningful discussion on mental health in April!

1. Stimulate your body and senses

April is the month to re-energize and reawaken your energies and body after the winter slumber. Get a stimulating, deep tissue massage with essential oils that are both warming and invigorating. Choose between energizing orange, energizing eucalyptus, or energizing cinnamon. Choose lymphatic massage over a pleasant lavender oil massage to "get things flowing" and drain out toxins that may have collected during the colder months.

You're not ready to go to a spa for some self-care? There is no need to be concerned. Grab a handful certified therapeutic-grade essential oil and massage it into the bottoms of your feet before going to bed. Alternatively, you can spread it throughout the day in your house. To excite and revitalize, combine invigorating orange, lemon, or grapefruit with rosemary or peppermint. Combining massage with essential oils opens up a world of possibilities and health advantages.

Use Harmony’s Relaxation Essential Oil to massage and pamper yourself, rejuvenate your body and mind, or help the healing process through touch.
